Nevis Range Video

Posted on 11th February 201719th February 2017

Last year was my best season ever. So far this has been the worst snow season for a long time. This is only my second outing and in less than favourable conditions. I’m afraid I don’t hold much hope for the remainder of the season.

Making a Soundtrack
